* ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'': [[Trope Namer]] ("THE CAKE IS A LIE" being written on walls in various places by Doug Rattmann, an employee turned test subject). Note that there ''was'' cake, it just wasn't for you. {{spoiler|YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE CAKE!}}
** Moreover, note the wording by GlaDOS: "There will be cake" (and similar vague statements, like "cake will be served" and "cake... will be available"). It's not until later (when her lies become more transparent) does GLaDOS suggest that Chell will be the one to eat it ("Okay, the test is over now. You win! Go back to the recovery annex for your cake.")▼

** This is later spoofed in ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]] Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood'', {{spoiler|when Judge Grindstump asks Guybrush on what grounds the latter is not guilty of spreading the [[Hate Plague|Pox of LeChuck]], after which one of the four reasons listed is "The Pox is a lie!"}}
** Likewise referenced in the game adaptation of ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'': in one level, the player can use a portal device to access a hidden room which contains a cake; doing so unlocks the Achievement "The Truth".
